Making your own solidstate drives...

Post by Schwarz »

I was on dailytech and saw this new SSD coming with 160GB.
Anyways its in the 15 grand so it a little expensive... :P
Reading a little further I have stumbled upon this.
CompactFlash to IDE.
Wich makes your Compact Flash card a IDE HDD (SSD) whatever you want to call it :p
Anyways here's the link and with CompactFlash cards becoming less expensive I might try it out and let you guys know.
If anyone wants to try check it out yourselves :)

Problem is that CompactFlash is only - what - 8gb or 12gb max right now, so you will never hit the 160gb :) Now if they made a stackable convertor and in SATA, that would be REAL nice!!

I think im going to get one of those.
I was looking at a IDE to SATA converter because I don't have any IDEs left for the other one but with a SATA one no more worries.
